Alion is pure seduction, talk about minerality. Another blockbuster from the Vega family. Distinct note of lapsong souchong and black perigord truffle!

Not in the best place right now, I have had quite a few 8-12 years of age and they start to get really into around that age. For a youngster this just seemed off its mark.

2009 Vintage. Crushed rocks, anise, cherries, tar, and cured meat dominate the nose. Black cherry, eucalyptus, and balsamic, are the leading flavors of this wine. The wine is gritty, opened for 8 hours and still has real grip. This will do well in the cellar for another 5 years.
